How can you tell when your vehicle needs to be brought in for its next safety inspection?

In Germany, the vehicle safety inspection is an important responsibility for drivers. The inspection is indicated by a test sticker on the vehicle, which includes the month and year of the next required inspection. This sticker is typically placed on the license plate.

To determine when your vehicle needs to be inspected, it is essential to check the safety inspection plate with the test sticker. This is the primary method of identifying the inspection date. Additionally, the registration certificate Part I contains information regarding previous inspections and can serve as a reminder for when the next inspection is due. Lastly, information related to inspections can sometimes be found on the inspection tag on the license plate, providing further confirmation.

Using all these sources helps ensure that you do not miss your inspection deadlines, maintaining compliance with German traffic regulations and ensuring road safety.
